This study is aimed to derive the optimum mix proportion of the combined self compacting concrete according to cement types (blast-furnace slag cement and belite cement) and to propose the basic data to field construction work after evaluating the quality properties. Specially, lime stone powder (LSP) as binder and viscosity agent are used in the combined self compacting concrete because slurry wall of an underground LNG storage tank should be kept stability of quality during concrete working. Replacement ratio of LSP is determined by confined water ratio test and main design factors including fine aggregate ratio ($S_r$), coarse aggregate ratio ($G_v$) and water-cement ratio (W/C) are selected. Also, quality properties including setting time, bleeding content, shortening depth and hydration heat on the optimum mix proportion of the combined self compacting concrete according to cement type are compared and analyzed. As test results, the optimum mix proportion of the combined self compacting concrete according to cement type is as followings. 1) Slag cement type-replacement ratio of LSP 13.5%, $S_r$ 47% and W/C 41%. 2) Belite cement type-replacement ratio of LSP 42.7%, Sr 43% and W/C 51%. But optimum coarse aggregate ratio is 53% regardless of cement types. Also, as test results regarding setting time, bleeding content, shortening depth and hydration heat of the combined self compacting concrete by cement type, belite cement type is most stable in the quality properties and is to apply the actual construction work.

In this study, the mechanical properties of early-age concrete were evaluated by mixing the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregate with 30% and 50% replacement ratio. Slump test, air content test and unit volume weight test were performed for fresh concrete, and compressive strength test and chloride penetration experiments were carried out in hardened concrete. The compressive strength increased up to 7 days of curing age with increasing replacement ratio of the electric furnace oxidizing slag, but the strength decreased to 90% level of OPC concrete at 28 days of age. Regarding the result of chloride penetration test, no significant differences from OPC concrete were evaluated, which shows a feasibility of application to concrete aggregate.

The aim of this research is the feasibility analysis of the reject ash premixed cement mortar with combined aggregate. Namely, for the combined aggregate with two different qualities of aggregates, a fundamental properties of cement mortar was evaluated depending on various replacing ratios of reject ash(Ri). According to the experimental results, the combined aggregate consisted with low-quality aggregate and sea sand did not change the flow value depending on the reject ash while the combined aggregates consisted with low quality aggregate and sea sand; and consisted exploded debris sand and sea sand the increasing reject ash increased the air content with increased replacing ratio of reject ash. In the case of compressive strength, as the replacing ratio of reject ash was increased, the compressive strength was increased. It is considered that when 5% of reject ash replacing ratio made similar quality of cement mortar with favorable quality aggregate, hence, it can be suggested that 5% replacement of reject ash for desirable fluidity and compressive strength of concrete.

Drying Shrinkage has much complexity as it has relations with both internal elements of concrete and external factors. Therefore, experiments on Concrete Drying Shrinkage are carried out in this study under simplified circumstances applying temperature & Humidity test chamber which enables constant temperature and humidify. Comparative analyses have been made respectively according to the consequences aiming at modelling for prediction of Concrete Drying Shrinkage and making out measures to reduce it. As a result Strain Rate of Drying Shrinkage of concrete was measured to increase by average $10{\times}10^{-5}$ in proportion to additional 4% increase in fine aggregate ratio, when water/cement ratio constant. Strain Rate of Drying Shrinkage in pit sand concrete increased 20% higher than measured when in river sand under the condition of 90-day material age. 6. Strain Rate of Drying Shrinkage in sea sand concrete increased $10%{\sim}15%$ higher than measured when in river sand. The results of prediction of Rate of Drying Shrinkage by Response Surface Analysis are as fellows. The coefficient of correlation of Drying Shrinkage in concrete was over 90%.

This study is reviewed fire resistance characteristics of high strength concrete according to changes in PP fiber mixing ratio and type of fine aggregate, and the results can be summarized as follows. As fire resistance characteristics, all plain crushed sands prevented spalling regardless of increase in mixing ratio of PP fiber. Mixtures other than the plain showed satisfactory spalling prevention when 0.05 % or more of PP fiber was mixed. After the fire resistance experiment, the plain showed 5.5 % of mass loss rate when fiber was not mixed and others could not be measured. According to increase in mixing ratio of fiber, river sand with fineness modulus of 2.2 showed most satisfactory result of 34 %${\sim}$42 %. Mass loss rate after fire resistance experiment was most satisfactory at about 10 % in the plain crushed sand without mixing of fiber, and all other mixes with 0.05 % PP fiber or more showed 5${\sim}$10 % loss rate.

In concrete mix design we need the informations of the codes, the specifications, and the experiences of experts. However we can't consider all factors regarding concrete mix design. The final acceptance depends on concrete quality control test results. In this process we meet the uncertainties of materials. temperature, site environmental situations, personal skillfulness. and errors in calculations and testing process. Then the mix design adjustments must be made. Concrete mix design and adjustments arc somewhat complicated, time-consuming. and uncertain tasks. In this paper, as a tool to minimize the uncertainties and errors the neural network is applied to the concrete mix design. Input data to train and test the neural network are obtained numerically from the results of design following the concrete standard specifications of Korea. The 28-days compressive strengths which are variate according to the uncertainties and errors are considered. The results show that neural networks have a strong potential as a tool for concrete mix design.

This study classified oyster shells that produced as a industrial waste into 3 distribution by washing, drying and processing them. Mortar specimens with a constant ratio by using this to substitute fine aggregates were made, and the specimens were heated under the heating conditions of $300^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$ based on the 28-day age. On the age of 28 days, the plain flexural strength was found to be 9.2MPa, and in O 0.15, it was shown to be 4.4~7.9MPa depending on the substitution rate. It was found to be 4.4~7.7MPa in O 1.2~2.5 depending on the substitution rate, and last but not least, it was shown to be 6.1~8.8MPa in case of O 2.5~5.0 depending on the substitution rate. In case of the compressive strength of the 28-day age, it showed the difference of 23.6~43.2MPa in O 0.15 depending on the substitution rate, and 20.4~45.1MPa in O 1.2~2.5 depending on the substitution rate, and last but not least, 17.1~40.4MPa in case of O 2.5~5.0. As a result of measuring the residual strength through heating, in case of substituting fine aggregates less than O 0.15 by 100%, it showed the lowest strength reduction ratio, and it is expected that the heat-resisting property could be achieved through processing and proper mixing of oyster shells through these results.

It is estimated that over 2 million tons of non-ferrous wastes are generated after refining. Up to now, most researches were focused on extracting precious metals and there were very few research on the utilization of the slag byproduct. In this study, we studied to evaluate whether copper slag could be used as aggregates in concrete. Fresh mortar were evaluated on the particle size and replacement ratio of the copper slag with river-sand. Experimental results indicated that flow, air content and drying shrinkage of concrete varied with particle size, which confirmed that proper classification of copper slag is very important. And, setting time and unit weight of the concrete increased with replacement ratio. When particle size of the slag was similar to the river-sand, concrete with copper slag showed slump, air content, setting time, drying shrinkage and unit weight became larger compared to the concrete using river-sand only. Therefore, it is believed that proper classification and replacement ratio should be optimized for the effective use of slag in concrete.

In this study, in order to minimize the increase in the amount of various industrial by-products due to the rapid growth of the industry and the intensification of the depletion of natural aggregate resources, the material test using recycled aggregate and steelmaking slag and the proper mixing ratio of recycled concrete were to be derived. In this study, first, the conformity of the quality standards of the materials used in the field was confirmed, and the workability and molding results were shown when used alone or mixed. Therefore, the feasibility of application as aggregate for concrete was evaluated through a total of 4-type mixtures of cement types, admixtures, coarse aggregates, and fine aggregates. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the slump of unhardened concrete, the amount of air, chloride and compressive strength of hardened concrete according to the replacement rate were different from the measured values of general concrete quality characteristics. According to this, it was confirmed that the quality characteristics of the standard design criteria were satisfied.

This study is to analyze the application of the oyster shells as a substitute fine aggregate of concrete. For this purpose, the fundamental experiments of the composed materials and the variations of the main factors on it were considered and then the variations of workability and strength properties of the specimens with each case were also studied. The experimental results on the properties as construction material showed that the use of oyster shells in concrete would not cause abnormal chemical reactions or lead to the formation of any new objects, the workability and strengths decreased with increase in proportion of oyster shells. The compressive strength of concrete with oyster shells is developed as much as that of normal concrete and the grain size of oyster shells is superior on 3.0~5.0mm and the percentage of substitution of them to fine aggregate about 30% from the properties of concrete with them. The relationship equation between compressive strength and tensile strength is ( ).
